hi, i am trying to transition my hair to natural after recieving severe damage to my hair due to perms and lack of proper care. When i was young and natural (until i was 9), i had mid back length wavy hair that grew in thick and quickly. with a perm i have hair that wont grow past just above shoulder length and that breaks off all over! i was wonder if when i went back natural my hair would grow back the way it did originally, or if my hair has been changed forever due to perms!
thanks for all your help!!!!

I think everyone is different and with that so is your hair. As my own hair continues to grow (I too am transitioning), I am finding my hair to be much curlier than I ever remembered being when I was natural (upto age 16).

My advice to you, take it one day at a time. Proper care for your hair will result in strong, healthy hair. The length will come.
